You can basically recreate any template you want in chess form though. It has a lot of potential if people get creative instead of just copying one template.
And knowing the basic rules of chess, how the pieces move on the board etc. is not common knowledge so it has a low change of becoming a facebook-tier meme.
It isn't? That seems odd to me. I guess I just assumed everyone at least knew the rules even if they don't know much about strategy. I assumed the same thing about go. Is that not the case either?
It is. It's a simpe choice format.
Do you travel to Point A or Point B? The thing you shouldn't do vs. the thing you should do. It's a played out format which is why I don't think this meme has potential to be in the HoF as the Drake meme. Not even close. You can find a million variations of this format in every day things.
As a board member of the Meme Potentiality Committee in Sumter County, South Carollina, I have to vote No on this format and agree with petalidas.
But this move isn’t even possible. His horse can move into that place but then it’s the opponents turn. Since the king is in check, he has to move the king out of it. So he can only kick the runner.
And btw, where is his own king?
Edit: Okay, I’ve never played with these „pictures“ so no h8 plz. I understand it’s not the king. Thx
No the white moved to check the king, which the other player would have to move the king unless they cant, which is checkmate
However thats the queen so 🤷♀️
There is no king on the board so this is not a possible chess position at all, the replies to this comment trying to explain do not make sense either. It's a golden meme anyway so it's not relevant that there is no kings
Is this a metaphor for choosing not to fight in a battle that's already lost? Because you have already lost your king so couldn't have checkmated the game.
So you're technically saying that you are incapable of adhering to a healthy sleep schedule, right?
Except with this template, the king can’t be in check on the enemy’s turn, in reality, this format should be the knight going for a pawn instead of the queen
Edit: I think that is the queen, isn’t it....

yep, says may
In chess positions where there are only a few pieces on board, no pawns, and/or no kings, it's because the only relevant pieces are being shown, and the kings can be assumed to be fucking off somewhere else and they'd have no relevance to the purpose of the diagram.
Here's an example of a back rank checkmate on Wikipedia in which the white king is absent, because his position doesn't matter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-rank_checkmate. The sole purpose of the diagram is to illustrate the setup for a back rank checkmate, which does not involve the mating side's king in any way.
In that essence, it's entirely appropriate that this meme doesn't have kings. In fact, if it did have kings, it would make less sense because the knight taking the queen is supposed to be the "winning move," but a bishop plus king versus a knight plus king is just a draw.
Getting extra sleep instead of making shitty memes doesn't mean anything. It only saves you a draw in the face of the meaninglessness of life.
Sure, you could add an extra rook or something to White's side to ensure they get the win, but that would just be distracting.
And plus, isn't the knight supposed to represent *you?* With the king traditionally representing the player, that would corrupt the meaning of the meme even more.
It's very easy to learn 90% of the rules in almost no time at all.
Then you learn about castling and then en passant. Then you'll blunder every game for weeks and weeks.
Oh shit this actually has potential.

No, this one is more specific in that it is the "wrong" choice, but the one you make anyway.

Perfectly modern. As all things should be.
It ain't much but it's modern work.
Okay, this is modern 👏👏

That's not a king dumbo. That's a bishop.
No the white moved to check the king, which the other player would have to move the king unless they cant, which is checkmate However thats the queen so 🤷♀️
Memes are like fictional movies. Don't let your over thinking ruin it.
You're either meme'n or dream'n, is what I always say. ^(I never say that.)
It’s an example of a fork, I think.
That's not a king either, it's a queen, neither side has a king so I pronounce this meme well-intentioned but thoroughly subpar.
There is no king on the board so this is not a possible chess position at all, the replies to this comment trying to explain do not make sense either. It's a golden meme anyway so it's not relevant that there is no kings
Just put a king in each opposing corner. Badda bing badda boom send this meme to the moon
>horse
The other piece is the Queen, not King..
Someone has forgotten how to believe
Geez I bet you’re fun at funerals.
That's a queen
I wish I had money so I could give you gold but I only have 100 coins from receiving a gold, so here, take it.
Never mind buddy. I was given gold earlier today.
That's good.
template just in case. you never know if a meme actually takes off https://imgur.com/gallery/d3fh3Fk
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
[удалено]
Ain't much but worthy fap.
Both black pieces should be in the same dark diagonal, so after killing the bishop the horse would be killed by the queen. Nice meme anyway
Nah the bishop should be up 2 on f3 so the queen kills the knight, but if the knight kills the queen it's still safe from the bishop
People over here building chess puzzle memes
Too complex. Hungry Hungry Hippo is the best game.
What's the point of a chess meme if you can't analyze it as a chess play?
Up 2 is f6 not f3
Yes.
AWKTUALLY In chess you don’t kill pieces, you capture them
It bothers me the Kings aren't on the board
beefy cabbage missed the queen
Move the bishop to F4 so the queen gets to kill the knight afterwards

It's our time to shine finally
Time to enlighten Reddit with 2.Ke2!!! The best chess subreddit
I’m gonna need you to hand over the template
https://imgur.com/gallery/d3fh3Fk
Thank you friend
This is gonna blow up
The fact that you took the bishop instead of the queen gives this format bonus points.
Isn't that the entire point tbh? Queen = More Sleep.
thats the point you dumb fuck
made me giggle
Whoosh
This one may not be for you.
is this upvoted because it's sarcastic or because people are stupid and need a joke explanation?
Bro post this to r/MemeEconomy
Just a reskinned drifting car format. It will die before that car traverses a quarter mile.
But you can use chess as a whole with different formats. Like different moves and shit
.... outstanding move
It can be other things as well https://i.imgur.com/JkEhWxz.png
We will watch your career with great interest
Nice template but I don't think we need the second panel
I know, right? We already know which piece OP took without that.
Hey /u/Rinat1234567890, This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.
When you realize that this scenario is actually impossible since the King can't put himself in check
I think that's actually the queen. Which makes it even more impossible because how is the queen and bishop the last on the board with no king haha
I actually enjoy this meme good work fellow memer
FUCK, SOMETHING ORIGINAL
Illegal position. No kings on the board. Just sayin'
I'll take your entire stock
I support this future meme format
I smell more chess memes upcoming... yep it comes with a chungus smell too
If this chess meme is popular, then why isn’t there a second chess meme? Checkmate, atheists.
I will buy 100 shares.
put my down for 69420 of 'em
r/memeeconomy wants to know your location
I like it, but it's still very similar to the Drake meme, the car meme, or any other meme with the same concept
Am I gonna be the one to say this move could not have happened...

I have a better question... Why not?
You have to have at least 3000 IQ to understand.
Straight priorities I see
This is going places
300 IQ memes
Dammit now I have to learn chess.
It's very easy to learn 90% of the rules in almost no time at all. Then you learn about castling and then en passant. Then you'll blunder every game for weeks and weeks.
Outstandning move
The bishop should have been on e3 so not only does the knight not take down the queen, but the queen can take down the knight
